A composting amenity residents notice — and management loves.
Sealed compost bins in your trash rooms cut odor, pest pressure, and the volume going into your main dumpster. Twice-monthly pickup matches typical building flow without overwhelming staff.
Pain points we hear about most.
Trash room odors and pests
Food scraps in open chutes feed flies and rodents. Sealed compost bins shut that down.
Resident demand
Renters increasingly expect composting — especially in newer Class-A communities.
Operations bandwidth
We handle equipment, training signage, and pickups. Your team just empties chutes.
Clear in/out list — no guessing for your team.
We deliver bins with signage that matches this list, so sorting is one decision, not a flowchart.
Goes in
- All food scraps — produce, leftovers, meat, dairy, bones
- Coffee grounds, tea bags, filters
- Bread, pastries, expired pantry items
- Soiled paper napkins and paper towels
- Uncoated paper takeout containers and pizza boxes
- Houseplant trimmings and small yard clippings
Keep out
- Plastic bags, wrap, packaging
- "Compostable" plastics and PLA cups
- Pet waste and kitty litter
- Cooking oil and grease
- Glass, metal, foil
Bins and signage sized to your operation.
Trash-room totes (64–96 gal)
Sealed, wheeled, and labeled — placed wherever your team already handles trash.
Resident counter-top caddies
Optional 1.5-gal kitchen caddies offered as a leasing amenity or on request.
Common-area signage
Trash-room posters, elevator cards, and a digital one-pager for your resident app.
How it fits into your workflow.
- Step 1
Residents drop scraps in the tote
Counter-top caddy at home, tote in the trash room — same trip as taking out the trash.
- Step 2
Staff swap a clean liner if needed
Bins are sealed, so most properties only need a quick check during normal trash-room rounds.
- Step 3
We pick up twice a month
Full tote out, clean tote in. No hosing. No mess.
- Step 4
You get a receipt to share
Pounds diverted and pickup totals — easy to feature in resident newsletters and ESG reports.
Outcomes you can measure.
Every pickup ships with a weight-ticket receipt. Need a signed diversion letter for an audit, franchisor, or ESG filing? Request one anytime — we pull the totals straight from those tickets.
- A real leasing differentiator with diversion totals available on request.
- Lower landfill dumpster volume and fewer pickups per month.
- Marketing-ready stats to share in newsletters and resident apps.
- Easier compliance as municipal organics rules expand.
Rapid City code — RCMC 8.16.010
Dumpster-enclosure odor and pest complaints can become a 7-day clock.
Under RCMC 8.16.010(C), food-waste odor and waste piled in view of adjacent properties are public nuisances — and a tenant complaint can trigger a code-enforcement notice with a 7-day remediation window. Right-sizing the dumpster with an organics pickup is the most direct fix.
